Hostess to Lodge
Mrs. Garfield Simmons entertained
the L. S. to the B. of L. F. and E.
yesterday at her home, for an after
noon of sewing and conversation. A
valentine motif was carried out in
the decorations and refreshments
untll the governor returns. Soauld
Ing then introduced his second pre
pared resolution calling for two meet
ings a month for the "exclusive pur
pose of inquiring into all details of
management and expenditure of
ninus." The resolution stated tho
minutes Bhowed that the members
devoted but 90 hours ln 1931, spend
ing $3O.000tO0O, listening to delega
tions and passing "proforma resolu
tions," and that the management
had apparently been left to the engi
neers "without oven active super
visory control."
Aftor listening virtually all after
noon to accusations and arguments
by Spauldlng William Hanley gave
way following the presentation of
this resolution nnd despite the mo
tion to defer consideration of it until
later. Issued his statement as fol
lows: "I wish to record my vote with
the chairman of the commission and
say that ln accepting the duties as
commissioner I have given it all my
time, and the past two months hove i
been going over the system studying i
conditions ana aoing tne oest L couiu
with the various problems presented
in this resolution.
"I have never attended a meeting
of tho commission since being on the
board without the contending com
missioner having a row or confusion
as a part of his program, and during
my entire services have never hod
tho pleasuro of meeting him on the
system. I do- not understand his
viewpoint in presenting this resolu
tion. "I have found that all former
commissioners had done the same
thing that I nm trying to do; that
they had put in much of their time
ana ability to construct a splendid
organization, nnd I only hope to de
liver the same service and keep it as
good ns- any." The present funds
would be expended by March 15, nnd
niter that some relief must be Riven.
The commission is spending- about
810.000 a ciay on relief st the Dres
ent. which Is not sufficient, he said.
"Why not let some of the projects
go and help the poor people who
need food," Spauldlng urged. "Our
first duty Is to the people, autoists
have to pay this money anyhow, and
people need relief," He suggested
Devers prepare a complete report of
what is needed and present It to the
commissioner and the governor.
The commission, upon suggestion
or Spauldlng, recalled the survevors
on the short cut routes from Port
land to the sea. with the survey work
uncompleted. He asked this, he said.!
in view or Governor Meier's request ;
that no surwr htehwavs be built or I
started this year. '
The commission approved the forest
highway map on which 1369 miles
of forest highways were listed. The
making of the map had been com
pleted by the forest bureau after
several years work.
whlch were served by the hostess,-assisted
by Mrs. Ed Lyons and Mrs.

the social club were present.
